+ Marker Alpinist 10 bindings

The ultra-light Marker Alpinist 10 Demo Pin binding offers everything experienced touring skiers demand. Its construction allows active length compensation without affecting the flex of the ski.

The carbon reinforced, very stiff ISI front facilitates the entry, because thanks to wide footprint with integrated stop, the boot is automatically correctly positioned and aligned.

Subsequently, the optimized kinematics of the pin levers allows the pins to snap shut even with very little pressure. The heel with 0°, 5° and 9° ascents can be quickly and easily rotated from ascent to descent mode.

Due to the 38 mm wide drilling pattern, the Marker Alpinist transfers power very well to the edges, which means control and good ski control. Unlike the reference Alpinist 10, the demo version offers an additional 15 mm of heel adjustment and also 72 mm of toe adjustment.

Features:
• DIN Range: 4.0 - 10.0
• Stand height: 20.5 mm
• Ski boot sole length: 243 mm – 367 mm
• Toe piece: Carbon reinforced pin toe
• Toe adjustable: 72 mm
• Heel: Alpinist heel
• Alpinist heel adjustable: 30 mm
• Anti Ice Pads

• Recommended rider weight max. 110 kg
• Weight/piece* 510 g
